“However, I think it simply does not go far enough. I also supported the Leahy amendment yesterday after my amendment to combat union fraud was defeated. I will continue to support responsible corporate accountability measures in this bill. My only point is, corporations do not have a monopoly on misconduct, deception, and fraud. As long as we are addressing professional misconduct, deception, and fraud, we ought to recognize this is a problem in our entire professional culture, not just in corporate culture. Let me repeat that. This is a problem in our entire professional culture, not just in corporate culture. I understand the mood at the moment is to beat up on corporations. And they deserve it. That is what the underlying bill is about.”
